A few years ago we set out to dominate flat-water race with the addition of the X- Series race boards. It evolved to the X Pro and the X Pro-Lite to meet the demands and feedback of our world class riders. The FX-14.0 is the next chapter in our race series. Derived from concept of the X-Series, the FX builds on those fast water lines with more bow volume, a more forgiving rocker, a flattened out deck and a more forgiving and stabilizing bottom section. The result? The fastest, most versatile race board on the planet. Features

Technology

SCC SINGLE CARBON COMPOSITE

Our SCC +Innegra™ construction is a light weight cnc/eps core with a full wrap biaxial carbon fiber glass internal layer. The SCC also features an Innegra™ tip, rail and tail reinforcement area and 2-Layers of biaxial glass rail reinforcement for extra durability. The 3mm high-density pvc deck reinforcement with a crocodile textured eva deck pad is grippy and comfortable for long paddles. This construction also features our ez-grab carry handle and gore-tex breather vent.

This board is a displacement hull board.

DISPLACEMENT HULL
Standard Characteristics: Considered the road bike of the water due to its quick acceleration, efficient glide and top end speed in smooth conditions. Displacement hull boards are easily identifiable by their rounded bottom shape and piercing nose style in the bow. The nose of the board generally is designed to pierce the water, aid in board tracking and cut through chop to reduce drag and promote glide, as well as top end speed. The rocker line is generally flat and the volumes are greater than surf style boards. The added volume allows the board to float higher in the water which reduces drag thereby promoting better glide ratios and unlocks top end speed. Increased volume and width typically provides more stability, especially for heavier paddlers. Conversely, narrower boards are faster but less stable, depending on the paddler’s weight and skill level.
